For Smudger/Stanley’s derailing, besides being careless, Stanley’s real-life basic (Baldwin class 10-12-D) also didn’t have proper re-gaugements which lend to them derail during the 1st world war. Falcon’s basic had similar issues in its early days on the Talyllyn.
Duke will always be my favourite engine. He's just so multifaceted. I particularly love how they show his trickster side in You Can't Win.
Duke the lost engine to me is the best railway series book ever written as well some off the best TV serier episodes ever made
This is brilliant! A great celebration of both the books and the TV series. I'm looking forward to the next one 🙂

Other comparisons noted:
This was perfectly timed since I finished printing off the pieces for a custom 00 gauge engine based on Duke and am getting ready to paint him up,
Engines come and engine go, Grand-puff goes on forever!
A great video once more, for easily the best book in the Railway series. Thank you soo much once again 👍
Awesome. I enjoy watching this and the previous videos
The Mid-Sodor uses the Skarloey line set on TV, as if there was actually an old line to from the Skarloey line to Peel Godred (1 of the MSR terminus)
Sure Smudger/Stanley had a bad attitude, but it wasn’t his fault that he kept derailing because he wasn’t gauged properly.
I’m ready for Tramway Engines!
FINALLY I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID TO COME
The Small Railway Engines appeared in SLOTLT in 2015 which was 21 years later!
I can't believe we're in the Endgame of Wilbert's books already
Only 4 more of these left huh? You’re really nearing the end!
Very nice analysis

Duke is one of my favourite engine
Duke and MSR Stanley would make great additions to the CGI series
